Reviews for The Book of Cowboys

[harrymacdonald · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

All the Holling books are fine, but to my taste this one is weakened a little by two things. First, unless I miss my guess, the color-plates, though signed "The Hollings", are really by Louis,e and her style just doesn't warm the way her husband's does. Second, although the book is power-packed with information, good values, and other vital nutrients, the story on which all those are heaped is more than a little wooden, indeed recalling the worst excesses of The Bobsey Twins. Even so, it beats most kid's non-fiction, of that day and this, in cards and spades.
